This is a necklace I made while remembering one of my favorite runs: The Rock to Pier 10K. It starts in Morro Bay, California and ends at the Cayucos Pier. The whole run is in the sand on the beach and the view is beautiful. I haven’t run it in several years since [...]
I’ve had a few requests lately for custom ampersand coasters, so I’ve decided to list them officially in my Etsy shop. When you place your order, just tell me the names you’d like added, and I will create a lovely wedding or anniversary gift for you to give to someone [...]
Today is Small Business Saturday, the perfect day to support home based mom businesses, like this one. Click the photo below to go to my Etsy shop. Thanks in advance!
Happy Friday! Sometimes I feature an item from my Etsy shop, but today I thought I’d give you a view of a few things in the shop right now. Can you tell there is an ampersand theme going on these days? Anyway, if you see something you like or something that would [...]
Today’s Betsy on Etsy feature is this canvas cross shoulder bag with an image of a beautiful 1940s woman. The image was transferred from a vintage Life Magazine.

This vintage Polaroid JobPro Construction Camera is currently in my Etsy shop. It was designed in a bright yellow to be used on construction sites. I can’t tell if it still works, because the film that’s left in it must be so old that the battery has died. It [...]
This needle felted ampersand in Garamond Pro is a featured item from my Etsy shop. It’s one in a series of ampersands that I’ve been creating in different fonts. Being married to a graphic designer has exposed me to lots of different typefaces and turned me into a {very small} type geek. [...]
This upcycled cotton sweater is the featured item from my Etsy shop. I found this very thin sweater, and thought that it would be perfect for me to try out elbow patches. The elbow patches are needle felted orange wool hearts. When I first added the elbow patches, they were [...]
Today’s Betsy on Etsy feature is a scarf that I embellished by needle felting a flower onto one end. This wool roving in many shades of purple on this whimsical scarf blends beautifully with the color of the scarf. Click the image for more info.
